opposite. ends'of which' extend towards .the table front andare bent to form eyes19`wh-i`ch are pivotally supported o n' the rod 20fwhic`li is inturn suppor-tedin thevupwardly extending ends21 and 22 of the U shapedbracket '23 which is' fastened withthe bottoni of the lU' on the tableibottoin 8 adjacent the front wall of the table. Theupper edge of the'tab'lefront wall v10 is provided with cut-out portions i241 which are positioned'in'aflinewithjthe' shaped vbrackets 18 and-adaptedto receive the brackets when the ironing board 1 l swung outwardly into positionfor use. i One 'of the ironing board legs is'desigiiated yat 25 and" when the board is in collapsedl posil' ltion inthe table, as shown in Figure'sl and 2 a U shaped crank-like member 26,'the'en'ds27 of which are' journaled in the bearings'28.

will b e'later explained; j Thevertical leg of the-ironing'boardis ldesignated at l30 and is` `provided ini its upper l end withan .elongated slot 31 adapted to. f receive a pin \3 2carried upon theiouter face ofthe raised portion-145 of vthe ironing beard-S Thefextrenie upper end-"of this leg'i`s"1pro vided with a notch 33 adapted Vtc engagey the` l i pin' 34;,as clearly appears inlilgurey of jthe drawings,l when the board is inj Ithe extended position. By reasonof this V-onstructionv this l j leg of the tableisvery' rigid when swung vinto be seen that there is provided a table A havingVY "The Vironing board is further'providedwith 'aizbrace leg 85," oneeiid of which ispiv'otally Y extendedposition.

To redder thetable more'rigid I have provided corner braces 43 which are positioned in the cornersof thecompartrnent. B.

As aniron'is a necessary artiledornse with this table, I have pm vided for thej purpose ofrconvenience a compartment 'D' in one of the front corners afy the maxi-n compartment B for the reception of an iron which partment is Vpreferably liinedfwzitih asbestoset.
